Errr it isn't a RAM card really, it's sticks of ram, if you have zero exp with PC components I would advise you ask someone of your housemates who has to do this upgrade, you can very easily damage the motherboard while installing new RAM. 8GB is a little strange for a system with a 4GB graphics card but at the same time I'm sure it'll do just fine while you get to grips with stuff.

Really? I thought you have to use violence to damage the motherboard while doing that. Otherwise I had a hard time seeing how you could damage it. You just have to see that the notch is facing the right way, and then push (once you've opened the holders of course).

Mate.... I've seen it all, fucking horror show at times, from broken sticks of ram, broken ports on the motherboard.. and the best one ever, termal paste in the ram slot with the ram jammed down into it.

Dafuq... Still, that sounds like it almost requires trying to break things. No way a sane person equipped with instructions could manage that?

Not at all, just someone with a small amount of information being over confident, I've also removed a processor from a PC which was marked as broken in our centre to find someone had applied the termal paste underneath the processor, but that one came from a classroom where people work with PC's and study PC repair so it was likely someone in the classroom just messing up on the basics.

I will recomend you to replay some last gen games, you would not even notice the difference in some vs current gen games, that PC case looks so damn good, mine is all red too, and the monitor well I got an AOC since 2011 it still has the plastic protection and works like new, but yours damn 144hz :P Enjoy it, you will feel the difference in alot of games.

Yes i want to! Please link me some of your favorite/best last gen games for PC and i will check them out for sure. 

 

I'm slowly but surely adding to my PC collection and it's so much fun.

That is the plan!

Hey guys so a question here. I kind of want to upgrade my RAM card. My motherboard I believe will support another 2 4gb cards. How do i know what to get???

Errr it isn't a RAM card really, it's sticks of ram, if you have zero exp with PC components I would advise you ask someone of your housemates who has to do this upgrade, you can very easily damage the motherboard while installing new RAM. 8GB is a little strange for a system with a 4GB graphics card but at the same time I'm sure it'll do just fine while you get to grips with stuff.

I would side with others here though and consider adding an SSD to this PC as fast as you can as you'll want to have your Operating system on that and some core games that you play often, if you put like... windows and League on there the difference of getting a game loaded up will be truely night and day for you, once you go SSD you will not go back. and yeah, SSDs are not tough to install really, but like I said you'll most likely have to reinstall the operating system on to it, but seen on amazon that PC came with a recovery disc so you have the OS on that you can just pop in an SSD and then get that disc loading windows onto it.

Would recommend adding a nice surround sound headset too just for general PC use and games, I use a https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-780-Surround-Headset/dp/B00AZO8KSK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477445881&sr=8-1&keywords=plantronics+surround+sound very very nice headset, while it looks huge it's very comfortable and the sound from them is just amazing for the asking price, you'll literally be blown away... mind your ears.

Yeah still learning the terminology so don't mind me lol. 

It has 8gb currently and most other people also agreed it was a tad low. 

Not sure if my motherboard will support a SSD right now? do you put them under where the HDD is? lol
